Before India’s white-ball tour of Sri Lanka, Gautam Gambhir, the recently appointed head coach of the Indian team, concluded his first meeting with Ajit Agarkar and his selection committee to announce the roster. After Rahul Dravid assisted India in winning the 2024 T20 World Cup, Gambhir will take over as coach.
After just one season, Gautam Gambhir left the Kolkata Knight Riders.
He later became the franchise’s coach in the Indian Premier League (2024) and guided them to an incredible championship victory. The national selection committee met with him prior to his debut series, debating the ODI and T20I squads for the Sri Lanka series.
The meeting lasted more than sixty minutes and was reported to have been fruitful. The meeting was arranged by the BCCI for Tuesday, July 16, according to The BCCI secretary Jay Shah, head coach Gambhir, and members of the selection committee attended the meeting. During the discussion, Gambhir also outlined his goals for the side.
KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer anticipate returning.
It is important to note that Rohit Sharma is anticipated to miss the ODI series versus Sri Lanka. He will captain India in the series if he is fit. KL Rahul, though, might take the helm of the Men in Blue in his absence. In addition, Shreyas Iyer is predicted to return to the ODI lineup.
In addition, the BCCI has not yet selected India’s T20I captain. In the shortest format, Hardik Pandya was Rohit Sharma’s deputy. Suryakumar is yet another candidate to captain the team in Twenty20 Internationals.
According to the speculations, Hardik Pandya might get a rest ahead of the ODI series against Sri Lanka. The tour is scheduled to start on July 27 and run through August 7, but the leading position in the shortest format has not yet been decided.
